JUNE

Things that have happened (or will happen) in the month of June:

June 1st: I sang my second Kirkin' of the Tartan service at CCC. One of the most spectacular services I've ever seen. Reminds me of Grandpa's family tree and Vivian. One day she'll be there for this service. Also played in my first ever handbell concert. I've learned a LOT from Dr. Daniel this year and really am looking forward to next year.

June 2nd: Heard about Dean's first day at his new part time job: Youth Minister at Christ Church Cranbrook. a) Never thought I'd be a youth minister's wife, b) Can't believe we've been so blessed to have found ways in which we can both serve God and others.

June 3rd: Turned in my two weeks notice at Bath and Body Works. Due to Dean's new job and other opportunities I get to spend more time singing and studying singing. I may even audition for the opera chorus for the 2008-2009 season.

June 7th: Watched co-worker (and friend), Jenny, get married. It's so much fun to see the people you spend all your time with outside of work. :-)

June 9th: Spent my evening cleaning and fixing dinner! (despite the fact that Dean is working and not here to enjoy it with me) This is one of the big things I'm looking forward to. I'm finally at that point where I want to cook things, in MY kitchen. So we'll see what comes of that.

June 13th: I leave for London. I was given an anonymous scholarship to be able to go on the Christ Church Cranbrook choir trip. It was supposedly said of me by this anonymous person to my choir director that I can't not go. I'm still baffled that someone would think that well of me and honored for them to have sent me on this trip. I've learned so much already from other people going on the trip and can't wait to learn more while I'm there. :-)

More updates on London and the rest of June later...
